Check out our new books and "GET CAUGHT READING!"

There's no shame when you are absorbed in a great book

Are you reading an amazing new book that you just do not want to put down?Are your fingertips sore from turning pages, swiping the screen or pressing the play button as you read or listen to a tantalizing tale?

Stop by the Petworth Library Children's room and pose for our staff paparazzi with the book of your choice, or email us a quirky yet tasteful picture of you reading (2getcaughtrdg@gmail.com) by Wednesday, May 29. The book cover must be visible and an adult must sign a photo consent form for youth under age 18 prior to our use of the picture.

As you can see, our Petworth Library staff is shameless -- many of us got caught reading! The first nine photos collected from our library patrons will be incorporated into another fun poster starring YOU and other Petworth patrons for our “Get Caught Reading” library display.

Call 202-645-8337 today for more information. Remember, there really is no shame when you are absorbed in a great book, so GET CAUGHT READING today!
